The Easiest Way To Create A Pretty Functional Coffee Station

Monday, March 20, 2017

A couple of months ago I shared a little bit of my advice for creating a fun/functional hot cocoa bar for Christmas. Since then I've transformed our "hot cocoa" station into a "coffee bar" and it's been working out so good for us! It's a great pretty little place to make my coffee every morning, and I think everyone should have a cute little coffee spot of their own! Which is why I'm here today to give you some tips for creating a pretty, functional coffee station the EASY WAY.

It doesn't have to be complicated and doesn't take much time or effort. So we're gunna do this in baby steps. Are you with me?

Step 1: Pick a Spot for Your Coffee Bar-

I decided to use some empty counter space to start our coffee bar. If counter space is sparse in your home, you can make it work on a cute buffet/side table or even on a bar cart. Space can always be created if the right pieces are selected. An awkward little corner can be home to a cute functional bar cart that can also be used as a fun way to entertain when you have guests over.

Step 2: Select a Coffee Maker-

Now that we know where we're putting our goodies and the space has been determined, let's figure out first which coffee maker we want to purchase. Traditional coffee makers work just fine, but if you want to spoil yourself a bit then I really do suggest you purchase a Keurig, The color of mine is exclusive and can be found here. I really do love it and it's probably one of the best purchases I've ever made honestly.

Step 3: Buy Some Mugs!

You're going to need some cute mugs to get you started. I blogged about my mugs and where and how to find them {in this post} you can also buy mugs similar to mine here and here. But I'm currently crushing on these here.

Step 4: And find A Place To Display Them-

Now that you have all of these suuuuuper cute mugs, you're going to need a space to display them all! A cute mug rack is the perfect way to display mugs and other goodies that you want to display at your coffee bar! You can find my mug rack here or find similar here.

Step 5: Create Storage-

You're going to have to find a spot to store all of that coffee/tea and sugar! As you've probably learned by now, my specific Coffee/Tea & Sugar canisters can be hard to find. So I'm linking some fun alternatives here, here and here!

Step 6: Add A Personal Touch-

Cute signs, bamboo placemats and fun trays are all awesome ways to add some unique personal touches to your coffee bars. These are things that keep the space fun and special for us. While I'm going to encourage you to select things that speak to your personally, I'm sharing my "unique finds" that I've used at my coffee station in case you want to recreate a similar look. You can find my coffee sign here, and other fun signs here. My silver french country inspired silver tray can be found here, and you can find placemats similar to the woven mats here for a STEAL!! I love to use stir sticks when I can find seasonal ones, but haven't had much luck lately so I picked up these SUPER adorable tea spoons here. They add such a fun pop of color to this space and are so much fun for Spring!

Last but not least- pick your coffee! I've tried several and my personal favorites are this French Vanilla coffee, and recently I've discovered this vanilla cream puff coffee and am IN LOVE.

It's so nice having a little spot to make my coffee in the mornings and it's fun decorating this space for the seasons! Do you have a coffee bar or station? I'd love to see it!

Luckily for me I heard a colleague of mine talking about this company, I got interested although i was scared of being scammed, I was compelled by my situation and had no choice than to seek advise from my friend regarding this very company and was given their contact number, getting intouch with them really made me skeptical due to my past experience with online lenders, little did i know this very Company "PROGRESSIVE LOAN INC. was a godsent to me and my family and the entire Internet World, this company has been of great help to me and some of my colleague and today am a proud owner of well organized business and responsibilities are well handled all thanks to Josef Lewis of (progresiveloan@yahoo.com)..

Hello All, I was really so downcast after losing so much and facing financial difficulties, it looks as if all my Friends and family were gone, no one to help me and all i could do was to just seat and watch my business going down and almost losing my son to an illness. But never the less i meet an old college mate who told me about the loan he got from Chester Brian Loan Company and until now the company have assisted so many of his friends seeking a loan. So i told him that getting a loan any more is not my style because of the disappointment from my bank and other loan company i trusted but he insisted i apply for it and he was going to make every preparation for me and also assured me that Chester Brian loan is not like any other online company that have scammed so many people, so i have to listen to him and give it a try. Now here i am letting everybody out there know that Chester Brian Loan Company is a life saver and now i can now boost of restoring my company back to its full glory. i will keep on testifying on behalf of Chester Brain Loan because they have made me to be a man again.
